LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-656-26 (File No. 261339) directing the County Mayor to negotiate a non-competitive, revenue-generating contract for a landfill gas conversion facility at the South Dade Landfill site, subject to filing a waiver of formal bid procedures. This action reverses the Mayor's recommendation to reject all proposals under RFP No. EVN0019329. The original RFP, issued July 8, 2025, sought proposals for landfill gas conversion facilities at both the South Dade and North Dade Landfill sites. Five proposals were received by October 15, 2025, and all were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office on December 29, 2025. The new solicitation will likely be for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not viable. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. If the bid waiver is not filed, the County Mayor must provide a report to the Board by September 1, 2026. The resolution was adopted on July 21, 2026, after being forwarded with a favorable recommendation from the Policy Council on July 20, 2026. The Policy Council had amended the item on July 13, 2026, to reject the Mayor's recommendation to reject all proposals. The vendors not recommended for award were Apex One Home Inspections Corp., Mobius Fuels, LLC, Nopetro Energy, Sagepoint Energy Landfill Holdco, and Waga Energy, Inc., all deemed non-responsive. The South Dade Landfill is located at 23707 SW 97th Avenue, Homestead, FL. The North Dade Landfill is located at 21500 NW 47th Avenue, Miami, FL.
